Abstract
Wireless signals inevitably vary in time and space. The three chapters of this dissertation revolve around the exploitation of signal variations. This line of work has yielded new link-layer protocols for rateless codes on half-duplex additive white Gaussian noise channels; a new abstraction for short-range mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-infrastructure "room-area" networks that adhere to the spatial boundaries of human conversation; a reduced-complexity tone reservation algorithm for optimizing signals to avoid amplifier non-linearities; and new tools for the study of physical-layer privacy and anonymity in wireless systems.
